Influencia de dos herbicidas en el control de malezas en sorgo (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) Vr. D-55 y su residualidad en soya (Glycine max (L) Merr) Vr. tropical

En los meses de Abril a Noviembre de 1989 se realizó una rotación de cultivos sorgo “Sorgo bicolor”, L Moench, S L, Variedades hibrido D-55 con soya (Glycine max) (L) Merr) variedad Tropical en la Hacienda “ as Mercedes, Managua; estudiándose seis diferentes tratamientos de control de malezas en sorgo con los objetivos de determinar la influencia de los diferentes métodos de control sobre el comportamiento de la cenosis; el crecimiento, desarrollo y rendimiento de la soya; los mejores resultados en control de malezas y favoreciendo el crecimiento y desarrollo del sorgo se presentaron en los tratamientos escarda manual y 0.75 1 Atrazina/ha en pre-emergencia más 1.0 1 MCPA/ha en post emergencia. En el cultivo de la soya encontrándose que no se presentó residual dad en ninguno de los tratamientos, sin embargo el mejor control de malezas se mostró en le tratamiento escarda manual. Las malezas más predominantes fueron Cyperus rotundus el cual fue mejor controlado por 1.2. MCPA/ha en post-emergencia y Rottboellia cochichinensis que fue mejor post-emergencia y Rottboellia cochichinensis que fue mejor controlada por el tratamiento escarda manual. La mayor altura de planta en sorgo se obtuvo en el tratamiento escarda manual. Respecto a los componentes del rendimiento se encontró diferencia significativa en número de ramillas por `panoja, número de semillas por panoja, peso de paja (Kg/ha) y rendimiento de grano (Kg/ha). No se determinó diferencia significativa en el número de individuos por M2, panojas por m2, longitud de panoja (cm) y diámetro de tallo (mm) . Los diferentes tratamientos en el sorgo como cultivo antecesor no influyeron en el crecimiento y rendimiento de la soya.

Niveles de nutrientes y pigmentos fotosintéticos en el Río de la Plata interior (55°-59°W 34°-36°S)

The "Río de la Plata" River is one of the less studied systems of the basin with respect to its biological and ecological aspects. Twenty four and twenty seven surface stations were sample on September 22-23 and November 22-23, 1982, respectively. The section studied is part of the zone called inner "Río de la Plata" River. The discharge was 29.000 m3/s in September and 45.200 m3/s in November. Total phosphorus (PT), total organic nitrogen (NOT), chemical oxygen demad (COT) and total cholrophyll were measured. Dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity (TURB), pH and electrical conductivity (K20) were also measured at the surface with a HORIBA U7 sensor on November 1982. PT was 72-208 mg/m3 and 66-205 mg/m3 in September and November repectively; the higher values were near the Argentinian coast and the outer zone. NOT was 33-106 µM and 49-117 µM and CHL was 1.4-5.8 mg/m3 and 1.3-9.4 mg/m3. TURB was between 44 and 240 NTU in November; the maximun value were obseved in the central zone. Steep K20 gradients were found near both coast. The reduced organic carbon load into the lower and external part of the "Río de la Plata" River was estimated. (Document contains 40 pages.)

A numerical investigation on the flow physics of koi carp (Cyprinus carpio koi) burst-and-coast swimming

Abstract—Burst-and-coast is the most common locomotion type in freely routine swimming of koi carps (Cyprinus carpio koi), which consists of a burst phase and a coast phase in each cycle and mostly leads to a straight-line trajectory. Combining with the tracking experiment, the flow physics of koi carp’s burst-andcoast swimming is investigated using a novel integrated CFD method solving the body-fluid interaction problem. The dynamical equations of a deforming body are formulated. Following that, the loose-coupled equations of the body dynamics and the fluid dynamics are numerically solved with the integrated method. The two burst modes, MT (Multiple Tail-beat) and HT (Half Tail-beat), which have been reported by the experiments, are investigated by numerical simulations in this paper. The body kinematics is predicted and the flow physics is visualized, which are in good agreement with the corresponding experiments. Furthermore, the optimization on the energy cost and several critical control mechanisms in burst-and-coast swimming of koi carps are explored, by varying the parameters in its selfpropelled swimming. In this paper, energetics is measured by the two mechanical quantities, total output power CP and Froude efficiency Fr. Results and discussion show that from the standpoint of mechanical energy, burst-and-coast swimming does not actually save energy comparing with steady swimming at the same average speed, in that frequently changing of speed leads to decrease of efficiency.

Demographic studies of extrasolar planets

Uncovering the demographics of extrasolar planets is crucial to understanding the processes of their formation and evolution. In this thesis, we present four studies that contribute to this end, three of which relate to NASA's Kepler mission, which has revolutionized the field of exoplanets in the last few years.

In the pre-Kepler study, we investigate a sample of exoplanet spin-orbit measurements---measurements of the inclination of a planet's orbit relative to the spin axis of its host star---to determine whether a dominant planet migration channel can be identified, and at what confidence. Applying methods of Bayesian model comparison to distinguish between the predictions of several different migration models, we find that the data strongly favor a two-mode migration scenario combining planet-planet scattering and disk migration over a single-mode Kozai migration scenario. While we test only the predictions of particular Kozai and scattering migration models in this work, these methods may be used to test the predictions of any other spin-orbit misaligning mechanism.

We then present two studies addressing astrophysical false positives in Kepler data. The Kepler mission has identified thousands of transiting planet candidates, and only relatively few have yet been dynamically confirmed as bona fide planets, with only a handful more even conceivably amenable to future dynamical confirmation. As a result, the ability to draw detailed conclusions about the diversity of exoplanet systems from Kepler detections relies critically on understanding the probability that any individual candidate might be a false positive. We show that a typical a priori false positive probability for a well-vetted Kepler candidate is only about 5-10%, enabling confidence in demographic studies that treat candidates as true planets. We also present a detailed procedure that can be used to securely and efficiently validate any individual transit candidate using detailed information of the signal's shape as well as follow-up observations, if available.

Finally, we calculate an empirical, non-parametric estimate of the shape of the radius distribution of small planets with periods less than 90 days orbiting cool (less than 4000K) dwarf stars in the Kepler catalog. This effort reveals several notable features of the distribution, in particular a maximum in the radius function around 1-1.25 Earth radii and a steep drop-off in the distribution larger than 2 Earth radii. Even more importantly, the methods presented in this work can be applied to a broader subsample of Kepler targets to understand how the radius function of planets changes across different types of host stars.
